It really depends on the severity of their disease. If they have a mild case than it might help but if they have severe vomiting and diarrhea than they need to be hospitalized on iv fluids with medications to help control the vomiting, diarrhea, and secondary bacterial infections. Parvo can be a fatal disease if left untreated. Hope your puppies feel better soon.

Hello, sorry to hear about your puppy. In general, prognosis for a puppy with parvo is guarded and highly dependant on how sick your puppy is and how aggressive his treatment is. Standard of care includes hospitalization with intravenous fluids and medications as most commonly these puppies are unable to eat and have severe vomiting and diarrhea. If puppies however are less ill, occasionally at home treatment with oral medications (if eating) and fluids under the skin can be administered. Please contact your veterinarian to discuss if Lucille should be hospitalized or treated at home. Hope this helps and best of luck.

My dog is suffering from parvo virus what is things i can do it to cure apart from regular treatment which iam doing already
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Parvovirus is a severe gastroenteritis that affect puppies more often. This is a viral infection so there is no direct treatment for the virus so the treatment per se is directed at treating secondary bacterial infections and mostly helping with the clinical symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea and inappetence. This warrants ideally hospitalization with some cases being able to be managed with outpatient care depending on its severity. I recommend that you continue to follow up with a veterinarian who can institute therapy for Cleo as soon as possible. The quicker this condition gets treated the better the outcome tends to be. Good luck! Hoping for a quick recovery!

Please what treatment should i give a parvovirus patient dog..
Parvovirus cannot be treated at home because the treatment for this is mostly supportive care including: antibiotics, anti-vomit medication (i.e. Metoclopramide), +/- vitamin B supplement, fluid therapy (IV or subcutaneous). The most important of these being the antibiotics and fluids to keep your pet hydrated. If finances are a concern, then you can discuss with your vet about treating your pet as an outpatient, meaning the vet will provide the injections during a short visit to the hospital daily for about 4-7 days and you will take puppy home every night instead of hospitalizing your pet. Treating your pet outpatient does lower the chances of survival somewhat but it is more affordable for most pet owners. Here are some financial resources also if needed. Best of luck with your puppy's care. Carecredit.com Redrover.org

Poor Barfi. To have the best chance of survival, your dog does need to be hospitalized. Parvovirus treatment consists of aggressive supportive care to control the symptoms and boost your dog’s immune system to help him win the battle against this dangerous disease. Dogs infected with parvovirus need intensive treatment in a veterinary hospital, where they receive antibiotics, drugs to control the vomiting, intravenous fluids, and other supportive therapies. I would take him into the closest vet now.

A stray dog having parvovirus, what's the most effective treatment at later stage, like symptoms and weight loss reaches extreme.
Hospitalization with IV fluids and supportive care for controlling symptoms such as vomiting is the best at any stage. The key is to maintain hydration. They have medication to help with the vomiting and diarrhea and stomach pain until the virus runs its course which can take up to a week to be better. If that is by an option you can talk to your vet about at home medicines and doing pedialyte or Gatorade or chicken broth to help

I brought my moms dog to the vet he has been leaking blood from back end and nlthing but blood now. Before we left the vet it was alittle chunk but now its straight blood. The vet told me it was parvo. When we got home he couldnt walk or stand up, li
Oh your poor pup! If he isn't fully vaccinated, then yes it could be that he has parvo. This is a highly contagious and very deadly disease. You need to follow the vet's course of treatment carefully, and be sure to rush him back into the vet if he gets worse. You can offer him small amounts of Pediasure using a syringe or small turkey baster. It's very important to keep him hydrated, as dehydration is the number one cause of death in these patients. He also needs nutritional support such as Nutri-cal, available over the counter perhaps at your local pet store. I hope this helps, and I hope he survives this terrible disease! Best of luck.

Hello, vet. My puppy has parvovirus and we can't a afford the treatment for my puppy. So we gave him some pedialyte with water, and some apple cider vinegar to kill the parvovirus inside him. Will he survive though?
Sadly puppies needs a lot of supportive care to be able to pull through Parvovirus infection. Sometimes even with all the necessary care, they don’t make it.I t depends also on Walker ‘s immune system and how strong he is but he should really have at least intravenous fluids and antisickness medications. Hope this helps.

Puppy has parvo. Just had very explosive bloody stool. Can he still servive?
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Yes, he can survive though will require appropriate therapy and in a timely fashion. This usually involves intravenous fluids, antibiotics, supportive care medications for like diarrhea and vomiting if present, among other possible therapies. I recommend that you have him evaluated by your closest emergency clinic as soon as possible as the main concern with these patients is severe dehydration and anemia if there is blood involved. Good luck! I really hope he gets better.
